O Venerable Pope Pius XII, who had on earth
great courage to preach the word of God, vigor to repel the enemies of
the Church, and zeal for the Holy Name, pray for us poor sinners. May
we,
O Pius, have a double portion of thy righteous qualities in defense of
our holy Church. May we never abandon our duty to defend the faith,
with
fortitude, wherever we are and in whatever state God hath put us.
Venerable
Pius, may we, like thee, show the radiant glory of our Holy Lord in
everything
we do and say. And this, through the graciousness of the Divine
Majesty,
to Whom we humbly ask thee to pray for our benefit and protection.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
